The rubber gasket and styrofoam end pieces can be swapped…in addition to reusing some of the fasteners (screws, spring clips, etc.)….but, you’ll need to purchase additional hardware. None of the “main” components (surround, grill inserts, etc.) can be repurposed from your older grill.
I purchased the following aftermarket items to complete the install...
Plastic Rivet Retainer (50-pack)
Tool Aid S&G 19400 Rivet Tool for Plastic Rivets
...no issues with either.
[Edit] Also, don't forget a good quality plastic fastener removal tool...

That's correct...you will need to drill ~4-new holes (for each trim piece) to completely secure. The remaining holes line up with your existing trim. This was a pretty easy 2-hr project. Here's a bunch of after pics...
FYI - I just received confirmation from All Mopar Parts that my order (placed last November) for the XR wheel flare extension parts has finally shipped. I should have tomorrow.
Just in case anyone was patiently waiting...
I run a small light bar, center-mounted, on the front of my RR. In an unrelated post, you can see a photo of where I have the wiring pass thru the hardtop between rubber seals.

Wires are easy to hide on the underside of the RR channels and thru the interior body up to the...
Nice write-up. I thought about doing this as well...however, I have a small light bar mounted to the front of my RR Platform that would have required a few more inches to be removed/set back to accommodate a Sunrider. In the end, didn't think it was worth it.
Glad to see this worked out for...
For those with Mopar tube doors patiently waiting for mirror kits…

I picked one up and used for my Lab until he outgrew it...he's on the larger size (English variety). Overall, it worked out pretty well but now he has full range of the back. Plenty of access from all four sides plus a top mounted opening that I generally left unzipped to allow him to sit...
Not a kayak'er...but do have the Pioneer platform. You should be able to add Rhino's Pioneer Accessory Bar to your setup (43138B) - connecting via the c-channel - which would then allow you to add any number of their other accessories like luggage carriers, bike racks, etc....including one of...
Just out of curiosity - would you plan to get the "driver's side" or "passenger's side" swing version when available? I am leaning towards the passenger side version - but not sure it really matters.
